  Elín Hall

  At the edge of two worlds lies Iceland. And somewhere between music and film moves Elín Hall. She creates emotional, cinematic pop that takes its time and gives space to unfold. No big gestures, just a carefully built atmosphere where relationships, identity and the way we see each other come into play. Music shaped by mood, story and a voice that holds it all together. Elín Hall gained major attention with her album Heyríst í mér?, which earned her several awards in Iceland and confirmed her position on the local scene. In recent years, she has entered a new chapter – beginning to write in English and expanding her music towards an international audience. Her current work explores themes of identity, self-perception and the way we are seen by others – who we are and who we become in someone else’s eyes. Alongside her music, she has also received acclaim as an actress, winning several prestigious awards for her lead role in When the Light Breaks. A strong voice and storytelling that resonate just as much through headphones as they do live.

  Flesh Machine

  Flesh Machine is an indie/alternative band based in Reykjavík Iceland that blew up in the underground scene in late 2022. Flesh Machine is the brainchild of Kormákur Jarl Gunnarsson as an expression outlet while he was living and studying in Berlin and as a coping mechanism for his depression and anxiety. After he moved back to Iceland he decided to expand that Idea by adding members and forming a band: Baldur Hjörleifsson and Lukas Zurawski on guitars, Jón G. Breiðfjörð on drums, and Viktor Árni Veigarsson on bass.

  The band performed its debut show in August 2022 and has been active in the Reykjavík music scene ever since, always performing for fully-packed venues and festivals including Norðanpaunk, Lunga and off-venue Iceland Airwaves. The band’s first single, released in January 2023, was very well-received and even caught the attention of Anthony Fantano, who hosts the YouTube channel “The Needle Drop, ” giving the single a good review. Flesh Machine won an award for the music video to their song “Problems,” at the 2024 Stockfish film festival. That same video also got nominated at the 2024 Muvid awards in Peru, competing in the same category as Harry Styles and Jungle. In the year 2025 the band got nominated at the Reykjavík Grapevine Music Awards in the category “Ones To Watch”. The same year the band played their first concert outside of Iceland, on the first edition of the showcase festival Music Week Poland, held in Warsaw, Poland.

  The creative world of Flesh Machine draws musical influences from The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode, Brian Eno, Tears for Fears, and David Bowie. The band is also influenced by the creative mind of David Lynch. The essence of Flesh Machine is blending two worlds of flesh, representing warmth, emotion, and humanity, and the Machine which represents the cold, mechanism, and synthetic. Blending acoustic and electronic sounds to create music that explores the human experience, depression, and the dark corners of the human psyche.

  Vision: Flesh Machine is currently working on their debut album “the Fool” and has already released four singles that will be featured on the album. Flesh Machine aims to boost their image to reach an international crowd.

  Hasar

  ”In English, Hasar means “action” — a fitting band name for an act rooted in gritty rock ‘n’ roll, emphasising fast-paced music and electrifying live performances. Come to think of it, Hasar’s music would perfectly suit as the soundtrack to a compilation of skateboarding wipeouts.” -Reykjavík Grapevine
  ”Hasar continues its path of destruction throughout Reykjavík’s live venues. “We’re here to kill and entertain,” Örn finishes. “The motto these days is, ‘one, two, Hasar.’ Kick the door down.” -Reykjavík Grapevine

  Múr

  Múr, deriving its name from the Icelandic term for “brick wall,” forges apocalyptic soundscapes that transcend conventional boundaries. With a mesmerising blend of post-rock and progressive metal, they transport the listener to a realm of introspection and self-discovery, where shimmering guitars, haunting vocals, and unrelenting rhythms combine with a roaring keytar to form a sonic wall of raw emotion. Through their unique blend of atmospheric textures, evocative songwriting, and raw emotional intensity, Múr has garnered critical acclaim both within their homeland and beyond, solidifying their position as one of the country’s most promising and exciting musical exports.
